A36882	The theologicall key of the three first covenants made by God with man, in the severall state of man, obliging man to his law, after a severall formall manner, from the beginning according to his sacred decree of predestination, fundamentally declared, according to his sacred word and truth / by David Dunbar, Esq.

love_n and_o man_n by_o faith_n in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o only_a mean_n whereby_o a_o man_n know_v himself_o to_o stand_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n whereof_o no_o man_n
